Now, I'm not a Hillary fan, but I'm just curious to know what you find so bad about her. At least one thing I've discovered over the past decade is that most everything "evil" about Hillary was invented by the right wing attack dogs. I've got some issues with her husband's trade policies, so the Clintons are not beyond reproach. But please, tell me what she has done that makes it so horrible if she were to be "elected to anything". |

Re: Don't mess with my connection.
said by supergirl :This isn't smart business policy. .... This sounds like a clear "interfering with interstate commerce" situation. Is AT&T just looking for an excuse by Congress to enact "network neutrality" legislation? Also, how does this affect their safe harbor status? If they have these filters and some bozo has illegal content on a homepage on AT&T, no DMCA takedown necessary just sue AT&T. The just took on the "policing role" so content on their network illegally is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Yeah, that's what I have been thinking. I mean either AT&T's counsel has been asleep at the wheel, or this retroactive immunity shit has made them think they can do absolutely whatever the f they want to support corporate friends (**AA, etc.), and get away with it.
THIS MUST NOT STAND!
Perhaps this will be the opening needed to bust 'em for their organized crime involvement. If they can (try to) keep file sharers off their network (even when its fair use, though admittedly that's not the norm) then certainly they can be expected to limit the actions of criminal abusers of their network when they are notified of or are aware of their blatant abuse.
